The RGB camera has better resolution now and can now see in darkness thanks to infrared.
But for games, it's mainly the depth sensor that's being used. The depth sensor will probably see a resolution increase as well (Kinect on Xbox 360 used a depth sensor resolution of just 320x240 pixels), but as far as I know, Microsoft has so far not provided concrete details on the resolution improvement of this particular sensor.
All in all one can say: Kinect 2 hardware is hardly more than improved Kinect 1 hardware. The accuracy and picture quality will be somewhat better, but it won't allow for any really new experiences that just wouldn't have been possible with Kinect 1 hardware.
